Chapter 14
-Phase 3-
Robin returned back into the hideout as they had planned. He walked into the control room and gave Slade what he needed for the final phase. Slade took the camera and connected it with his personal computer and started listening in on the conversation that Cyborg and Robin had. 'Wow Robin has become a lot more like me' he thought surprisingly when he saw Robin smack Cyborg with his bo staff and threatening to take him apart.
Slade laughed mentally and said "Excellent work Robin"
ROBIN: "thanks"
After Slade finished watching the video, he had devised a perfect plan for Robin, which involved kidnapping.
SLADE: "I've come up with a perfect plan for the final phase"
Robin waited for Slade to explain his plan to him. "go on" he ushered Slade to continue on.
SLADE: "Firstly I want you to keep on collecting intel for about a year before we commence with phase 3"
ROBIN: "Why"
SLADE: "Because if what Cyborg said was true, then I have a perfect plan to trap Beast boy"
ROBIN: "go on" he said, getting more interested on what Slade had to say.
SLADE: "Firstly remember how Cyborg said that Argent is going to get married with Beast boy"
He nodded
SLADE: "And that Argent is pregnant"
He nodded again.
SLADE: "Well this is what I had in mind" he started explaining his plan in full detail. There was some things that were purely evil and meant that Robin will never be the same again. Once he finished explaining his plan, Robin left the tower, slightly doubting himself, that he could go through with the plan of mass murder. Yes he wanted Beast boy dead, but what Slade had planned had really shaken him up, so he decided to slightly alter Slades plan.
Firstly he had to break into Wayne industries and steal one of the serums, that could suppress anyones powers for about an hour. Once he had succeeded in the theft he returned back into the tower and continued on altering Slades plan.
-8 and half months later-
It has been a 8 months since Robin returned to the team. Raven was still giving him a cold shoulder. Starfire has started to forgive him, but still kept her distance from him. That fueled Robins need for revenge.
He kept on trying to get closer to Starfire, but every time he said anything, he either got one word answers or she said that she had something important to do.
One day Starfire came back to the tower with Aqualad. He claimed to be her new boyfriend. Robin at first didn't believe them, but when he saw them making out in the main room, he became jealous.
Raven sensed that and smirked. She walked up to Robin and started insulting him about it. It was her way of getting revenge on him by destroying his sanity so one day he would end up in the mental institution. When he asked her, why was she insulting him like that, her only response was "You deserve it" Robin was confused for a second and then remembered how his actions has split her and Beast boy up. He had tried to apologize to her, but she wouldn't accept it. She had her sights set on revenge, something that Raven and Robin had in common.
-With Beast boy-
Argent and Beast boy had set up the team over 2 years ago. Everything was running smoothly. Argent was never allowed to go on missions again because she was pregnant. Firstly she didn't like the idea, that she had become a full time housewife, but when she started to think about it, it had more ups than fighting crime, for example she gets to look after her own kid. That thought made her really happy, like she was complete and she had her true love to share it with. She was looking forward to the future, to the marriage and the joy of growing old together. She decided to finally hang up her costume and live a normal life with Beast boy, even though he went out for missions, but not as often no more as Argent has started to forbid him from going on missions as often as he used to. Beast boy wasn't the one to argue with her, because she always came up with good points.
Argent knew exactly how to push Beast boys buttons. She used that knowledge against him, when it came to arguments like that. She only let him go on the missions, when the team really needed his help. Otherwise she made him stay with her, where she knew that he was safe.
She wasn't always like this, but they had a traumatic experience, where Beast boy got shot and nearly died, her fears started to play a huge role in her life, so she started to become slightly more dominant about going out on missions.
-Flashback-
they were fighting 2 bank robbers downtown. Argent and Beast boy went after one robber. He ran down the alleyway in hopes to get away from them, while other team members were taking care of his friend.
Argent and Beast boy had eventually managed to corner the robber. As the fear got best of the robber, he started to panic and pulled out a gun from his pocket and shot Beast boy in the chest.
When Argent heard a gun shot and saw Beast boy drop to the floor, She screamed from top of her lungs "BEEAAST BOOY" tears started to well up as she saw him lose consciousness. She then stood up and saw frightened robber attempting to run away. She let her rage get best of her. "How dare you hurt my beast boy. Now you will pay" With that said she used her powers kill him on the spot. She created a spear with her powers and stabbed the robber into his heart, killing him on the spot.
When the team saw what Argent had done, they agreed to keep this as their secret. They buried the body far outside the city while Argent took Beast boy to the hospital. No one ever spoke about this again otherwise it would have caused tension between each other and the team would have ultimately fallen apart as it only had been a week since they set up the team.
After they buried the robber, they headed to the hospital to see how Argent was holding up. When they arrived in the hospital they saw Argent crying uncontrollably. When they asked about Beast boy, she managed to choke up "his flat lining". Others gasped, moments later Kole broke down, while Gnark was trying to comfort her and Red Star was trying to comfort Argent. 5 minutes later the doctor came into the waiting room and said "He pulled through, but he is still in coma. We can only allow one person to visit at the time being" Argent immediately stood up and followed the doctor.
It had been a week since the incident. Argent was still sitting next to Beast boy, never leaving for more than 5 minutes. He hasn't shown any signs of recovery and the doctors started to doubt that he will make it. They were going to tell Argent, but when they saw how unstable she was at that moment, they decided to tell her later on in the day.
Suddenly Argent felt his hand twitched. she quickly pulled back to see if she was imagining it. When she heard a groan escape from his lips, her eyes filled with hope as she said "Beast boy"
When she saw his eyes flutter open, she practically leaped in joy and gave him a most passionate kiss he had ever received, she made sure to be extra careful, so she wouldn't hurt him. Tears started to roll down her cheeks. She broke the kiss and started to cry into his shoulder from happiness.
ARGENT: "I thought I lost you" she cried
Beast boy started to rub her back to comfort her as he said "You could never lose me" he had his own tears rolling down his cheek as he was so close to be taken away from his true love.
One of the things he had noticed was that she had lost weight. He started to wonder "how long was I out" he asked.
ARGENT: "A week"
10 minutes after Argent finished explaining to Beast boy what had happened to robbers and how he had nearly died, she called the rest of the team and told them that Beast boy had woken up.
BEAST BOY: 'This is really bad, not did I just die for 5 full minutes, but Argent actually killed him. This is all my fault' he thought
BEAST BOY: "I'm so sorry for what happened" he said, guilt plastered on his face.
She stroked his hair and said "It's not your fault. No one else knows" she said, smiling sadly.
BEAST BOY: "Even if anybody found out about this, I promise that I will not let them take you. They would have to go through me first" he said with all serious face. Argent stared at him and smiled "Thank you. I don't know, what I would do without you"
BEAST BOY: "It's my job for life to keep you safe and out of harms way."
She knew that he would do anything for her. He would even abandon his job or even friends, just to keep her safe. The truth was, he would kill anyone, who would dare to hurt her.
Couple of minutes later, the team arrived in the hospital. They were taken to the room, where Beast boy currently was with Argent. They waited outside for Argent and Beast boy to come out, so they could take them home.
ARGENT: "I forbid you from going out on missions again" she said, slightly giggling from happiness
Beast boy took this as a joke first of all and accepted, what she had just said, but when he was released and it came to a mission, Argent started to become more clingy to him and started to persuade him to not go on missions. Thats when he realised that she had meant what she had said back at the hospital. He didn't like it, but for her sake he made a deal with Argent, to which she eventually agreed to. Firstly he would stay home with her most of the time and wouldn't go out on any missions unless it was absolutely necessary and secondly she wasn't allowed to go out on any missions what so ever.
When the team heard about this, they thought that the team was done for good, but it wasn't as Beast boy gave up his position as the leader of the team to Red Star and told him that it was up to him to protect the city. First few weeks was lot harder for them to cope with the criminals as they were down 2 team mates. Red star recruited Kid flash and Jinx to take Beast boys and Argents spot.
Things quickly went back to normal.
-End flashback-
Ever since then, Argent has started to forbid him from going on missions a lot more as she didnt want a repeat of what happened. They never told the original titans about this because they didn't want Argent to go to prison. It was understandable why she had killed the robber.
With that thought finished, Argent felt a sharp pain shoot through her. At first she ignored it as it was normal for it to happen, but then it started to repeat more and often. Thats when she realised that it was time. She opened her communicator and called Beast boy.
He was out shopping at that moment with rest of the team, when he heard ringing. He pulled out his communicator and opened it.
BEAST BOY: "Hey Love need anything"
ARGENT: "Beast boy get down here, the baby's coming" she screamed as another contraction shot through her. Her eyes widened when she saw liquid running down her leg. She realised that her water had broke. "Hurryy" she screamed. Fear and panic washed over her as she had never had a child before.
When Beast boy heard what she had just said to him, he paled considerably and started to panic. He quickly contacted his team members, who were doing their own things around the mall. After he informed them, he headed back to the tower as fast as he physically could. When he arrived back into the tower, he found Argent sitting in the main room, arms wrapped around her stomach as she groaned in pain. Beast boy ran up to her and helped her up. Argent put one arm around his neck for support as he took her bag. They slowly made it to the garage and waited for others to arrive.
When others made it back into the tower in the car that Red Star had built, they all got out and helped Argent into the car. Red Star ordered for Kid flash, Jinx and Gnark to stay behind and guard the tower.
-10 hours later-
DOCTOR: "She's out" she said as she grabbed hold of her. She washed her, weighed her and put her into a warm blanket. After she checked the baby up, she gave her to Argent and left the room to give them some time. They both had a proud look on their face as they looked at their child.
BEAST BOY: "Wow shes Beautiful" he said, stroking babys head.
ARGENT: "Yes she is. What shall we name her" she said tiredly.
Beast boy thought about this for a moment and then smiled at Argent. "How about Argenna"
ARGENT: "Why Argenna" she asked out of curiosity.
BEAST BOY: "I've always liked that name" he shrugged
Argent thought about it for a second and then returned the smile. "I like it, it's a beautiful name, It matches with her beauty" Beast boy nodded in agreement, before giving her a small peck.
Argenna had gray skin, black hair with green streaks running through it. She had Crimson eyes and pointy ears. They weren't certain, whose powers she possessed or whose personality she had either.
Argent smiled as she felt Argenna grab hold of her finger. She couldn't help but to giggle happily as she felt a tear rolling down her cheek. She felt so complete. She had everything she could ever possibly want. She had a family. The thing that made her burst from joy was that she realised that she was a mother and she was not alone to take care of Argenna. When she looked at Beast boy, she saw him with a same facial expression. He had a tear rolling down his cheek.
-2 days later-
Argent was finally allowed to leave the hospital. Beast boy borrowed a car from Red Star and rode to the hospital to pick up Argent and Argenna.
He signed the release papers and took Argent and Argenna out of the hospital. He put Argenna into a child seat and fastened her up properly. Argent sat next to Argenna. Beast boy drove them back into the tower, where the team was waiting anxiously.
When they arrived back into the tower, Argent was greeted by her friends. Each had given them a present. Beast boy took Argenna out of the car and they headed back into the main room.
First thing Argent did was fed Argenna and then told others that she was tired, which all of them understood and went to her and Beast boys bedroom. She left Beast boy to take care of Argenna for now, which he didn't mind.
They contacted the other titans and gave them the good news. The only one that didn't seem to be happy was Robin, but nobody paid no mind to him.
-3 months later-
Argenna was 3 months old now. Beast boy has stopped fighting crime completely as he had much better things to do. He only went out on missions occasionaly, but that had become a rare occurrence.
Argent couldn't be happier as she had Beast boy and Argenna snuggling next to her. She felt so loved by the love of her life. She had a living proof next to her. She also had a ring to prove his loyalty. Argent was thinking about her past and she can't ever remember being this happy in her entire life.
She has been quite recently started to think about a normal civilian life away from the tower. She didn't want anything to happen to Argenna and Beast boy. One day when Beast boy noticed her being distracted he asked if she was ok. She decided to tell him, what was on her mind. He agreed to do something about it once they were married. He promised that they will leave the tower and start a normal life. He had promised her that he will get her and Argenna a nice house, which was miles away from any danger. He promised to get her a house which was close to the beach in a tropical island.
She beamed and embraced him in a hug.
To be honest Beast boy had been thinking about the same thing before Argent even brought up this discussion up. When he and Argent discussed about it, he decided to leave the tower for a day, so he could make her wishes come true. He decided to take Argent on the date after he gets back from his mission. He told her that he has something important to tell her, but he wont tell her until he gets back.
He planned out his date and now he had to take care of few things before the date. His date was going to be simple one. He's just going to take her onto the roof for a small picnic.
He told Argent that he had to leave for 24 hours as he had something important to do.
When she asked him where is he going, he told her that it was a secret and that he would tell her once he got back. She didn't like him being secerative, but when he told her that when he gets back he will tell her, so she dropped the subject and waited patiently.
-24 Hours later-
When he got back to the tower, he went to the main room, where Argent was playing with Argenna. When she heard the main room doors hiss open, she glanced over to see who was coming in. When she saw Beast boy, she put Argenna back in the baby chair and lunged at him, embracing him in a hug. "I've missed you" she said.
As she pulled away from the hug, she saw a plastic bag in Beast boys hand, "Whats in the bag" she asked curiously.
Beast boy hid it quickly behind his back and said "I'll show you later on tonight". As he moved the bag behind his back, she heard a noise coming from the bag. It sounded similar to some type of keys, but shrugged it off as she could be mistaken.
"Show me noow" She half whined.
Beast boy chuckled to himself and said "no you have to wait for tonight" he loved it, when she was impatient and whined. He thought that it was really cute.
ARGENT: "What's so important about tonight" she wondered
BEAST BOY: "You will have to wait and see" he teased.
Argent spent rest of the day with Argenna as Beast boy was setting everything up for tonight.
Later on in the evening, Beast boy asked Kole to look after Argenna as he had to speak with Argent privately. Kole agreed to look after her while Beast boy took Argent hand and lead her on the roof top. There was a blanket, picnic basket and a same plastic bag, which Beast boy had earlier in his hand. He lead her onto the blanket and sat down. When she asked "what's this all about" he replied.
BEAST BOY: "Argent" he said getting her full attention. "Over the course of 3 years you have made me a happy man. Firstly by helping me on the beach and giving me a place to stay. You have agreed to set up a team with me. You have given me a wonderful daughter. You have agreed to marry with me and now it is my turn to return you the favour" he brought a plastic bag in front of Argent and told her to look into it.
Argent raised an eyebrow and looked into the bag. she gasped when she saw what was in the bag. There was a set of keys lying in the bottom of the bag, with some papers, which seemed to be a contract and couple of pictures. When she pulled out the pictures and looked at them, her eyes widened as she saw a house on the beach. "Is that what I think it is" she asked amazedly. "Yes it is" he replied with a warm smile.
Argent faced Beast boy, pulling him into a passionate kiss. "You have made me the happiest person alive. Thank you for everything" she said, while hugging him. He eventually pulled away and said "You deserve every single bit of it. If you want we can move in after the wedding"
she nodded furiously. "I cant wait, we can finally start a normal life. We have got to tell the others" she said, standing up.
Beast boy shook his bead and chuckled "Anything for you" as he stood up and took her hand. They walked back down to the main room.
As they were walking Argent then decided to give Beast boy a news of her own. "Beast boy, I've got something to tell you"
They stopped walking as he stared at her and said "what is it"
She grabbed hold of his hand and placed it onto her abdomen. Beast boy looked at her, she had a huge smile plastered on her face. Beast boys eyes widened as he realised. "You mean" She nodded and said "I found out yesterday"
Beast boy looked at her abdomen and smiled. "hey there" he then looked at Argent and kissed her before saying. "I can't wait for us to get married and move into our own house"
When they told others about the news, they were excited for them, except for Raven and Robin. Raven was happy to see him, but when she heard About the wedding, she realised that she has finally lost Beast boy to Argent thanks to Robin. She felt like screaming from the top of her lungs while her hatred intensified towards Robin.
Beast boy told them that the marriage will be in couple of days and they were all invited. He wanted Cyborg to be his best man, which he accepted without even thinking about it while Argent asked Starfire to be her bridesmaid. She would have asked Raven, but she didn't get along with her since the day Beast boy left the team. Argent actually didn't even want to invite her, but since Beast boy wanted for her to come, she didn't complain about it.
After they told them about their wedding, Argent decided to tell them about her and Beast boy leaving this place for good, as he had brought them a house. Others started to complain at first, but when Beast boy told them that it was for the safety of Argent, Argenna and the unborn child, they agreed with the idea as the safety comes first. When they asked about their leaving date, she told them that they will leave couple of days after the wedding. Beast boy promised that Argent and him will keep in touch touch with them and even visit them at some time.
-Robin-
SLADE: "And it begins" He said through Robins earphone.
A/N: This chapter came out better than I expected. I promised for Robin and Beast boy to speak with each other briefly, but the chapter took an unexpected turn, so they will definitely have a small conflict, in the next chapter as Argent and Beast boy prepare for their wedding. Are the titans prepared for the multiple assaults around the city, and will Robin finally succeed in his mission.
This is a longest chapter so far.
Expect a new chapter soon.
As usual Reviews would be appreciated. :)
